A student wants to determine the impulse delivered to the lab cart when it runs into the wall. The student measures the mass of

forsale [732]

Impulse = Force * times and also Impulse = change in momentum.

Given that the mass does not change, change if momentum = mass * (final velocity - initial velocity)

Given that you know mass and initial velocity (which is the velicity before the cart hits the wall) you need the final velocity (which is the velocity after the cart hits the wall).

Answer: the velocity of the cart after it hits the wall.

The four tires of an automobile are inflated to a gauge pressure of 2.2 105 Pa. Each tire has an area of 0.023 m2 in contact wit

Stels [109]

Answer:

Force, F = 20240 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Pressure exerted by the four tires of an automobile, $P=2.2\times 10^5\ Pa$

Area of each tire, $A=0.023\ m^2$

Area of 4 tires, $A=0.092\ m^2$

We know that the pressure exerted by an object is equal to the force per unit area. Its formula is given by :

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

$F=P\times A$

$F=2.2\times 10^5\times 0.092$

F = 20240 N

So, the weight of the automobile is 20240 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A toy doll and a toy robot are standing on a frictionless surface facing each other. The doll has a mass of 0.2 kg, and the robo

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to newtons second law.

F = mass * acceleration

If the doll has a mass of 0.2 kg, and the robot has a mass of 0.5 kg, the resulting mass will be 0.7kg

Force applied = 1N

acceleration = Force/mass

Substitute the values and get acceleration

acceleration = 1/0.7

acceleration = 1.43m/s²

Hence the magnitude of the acceleration of the robot is 1.43m/s²

If you placed a dot on a world map to represent the location of every earthquake in the last 100 years, where would you see eart

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

If we are to place dots to teh places that have been struck by an earthquake these past 100 years, the dots would be concentrated in the east and southeast Asia region. This is because of the presence of the Pacific ring of fire. This is a major area in the Pacific Ocean where most of the earthquakes are likely to occur.

A baseball has mass 0.147 kg. If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55

Anit [1.1K]

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a baseball is 0.147 kg

Initial velocity of the baseball is 44.5 m/s

The ball is moved in the opposite direction with a velocity of 55.5 m/s

It is required to find the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball and of the impulse applied to it by the bat.

Change in momentum,

$\Delta p=mv-mu\\\\\Delta p=m(v-u)\\\\\Delta p=0.147\times ((-55.5)-44.5)\\\\\Delta p=-14.7\ kg-m/s\\\\|\Delta p|=14.7\ kg-m/s$

Impulse = 14.7 kg-m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball and of the impulse applied to it by the bat is 14.7 kg-m/s
